    This shared dining experience is very memorable!…read more From picking the fish to the side dishes, we were guided through the process. It's honestly a surprise from the moment we arrived, because there wasn't a set menu and we didn't know what to expect! The food came out quicker than expected. The seasoning of everything was on point. The fish was fresh and cooked to the right tenderness. My husband and I finished everything (like no bite left behind) in 90 minutes! (You can see how big the fish was in the photo!) I got to say on a side note that the seats are quite small and uncomfortable. I should have taken advantage of their coat area. I was out and about for 6 hours and bought a ton of stuff from museums and markets. There was not enough space for me to put my stuff at my seat at all. The final touch was the free ice cream cone at the end. Andddd I should have asked if I could kept the sardine... unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it here in the U.S.

    Very cool experience here. Upon checking in you're given the low down on how it all works and given…read morea can of sardines with your table number written on it. A fun keepsake! You choose your seafood and they tell you how it will be served. The seafood is weighed and you're given a tally of your meal. You also choose a selection of sides to go with your dinner. Once you choose your seafood you go to the wine bar and choose your drinks. We chose a pasta side orecchiette with pesto sauce and curried cauliflower. For our main dish, we chose the seabreem. We started with scallops and calamari which were both delicious and our seabreem was perfectly cooked. It would be nice to have more than one option as to how our fish could be made but all in all everything was fresh and well prepared. Service came with a smile and you can't beat the novelty and ambiance!

I did not expect Amsterdam is going to be the best seafood restaurant I found . I went to this seafood restaurant during Covid. I saw there was a huge seafood platter I wanted to order but it was from 2 people. So I didn't order it. This time, I went to the restaurant without a making reservation and I walked in then the waiter and the waitress were so nice to let me dine in. "Be aware that things changed after Covid. Please make a reservation if you are going after 8 PM. " The inside restaurant was so beautiful I sat down and see all these beautiful matching tablecloth dishes napkins everything was so perfect. There was a menu for fresh oysters. They were from 5-6 euros each so I did not order it. ( ordering the seafood platter will includes oysters great deals!) I had a glass of white beer which was served in a matching glass. The chef brought the lobster shooter to start and corn moose with shrimp on the bottom. It was very fancy French style. I had Bouillabaisse it was unbelievable. I tasted lobster bisque and fish pencil clams other seafood were inside. I was getting full already then my main course came which was that gigantic seafood platter. I lost my word!!! It was the best of the far best. Service was wonderful everybody speaks English. I really enjoyed coming here again. I didn't expect I will find the best seafood restaurant in Holland.

Two each of three types. All very juicy and fresh. Even came with a recommendation on the order to eat them in. (Best briney to creamy) Never knew. Also fish of the day, red bream. Really great seafood offerings and service. Very fresh and well prepared. Come in and try anything. You're welcome!

That said, the time it takes to make the food is WELL WORTH IT. Stumbled upon Frank's on my last night in Amsterdam, and it was the greatest meal I had in town, or even in recent memory. Coffee: Damn good. Salmon-mousse: delicious creamy appetizer. Seafood platter: really nice smoked/chilled bites between the appetizer and entree. Fish-of-the-day: really flavorful smoked salmon served with incredible tomatoes, buttery potatoes, and salad. White wine: refreshing. Banana tarte with coconut ice cream: Wowowowow. The service was excellent. Waiters, cooks, manager we're all very friendly. Watched everything come out of the kitchen -- nothing looks to disappoint.

These offerings were all superbly prepared -from the fresh fish, to the smoked meat dish and a tasty cheese platter to finish things off. Arguably the highlight of the evening however, was the dessert! A delicious chocolate lava cake and a cardamom parfait with warm poached pear were the perfect end to a lovely evening. The service was excellent and the waitress was warm and friendly albeit a quiet evening for the establishment. The menu offers a nice range and is very well priced. This restaurant is well worth the short trip from the city center. We will definitely be back!

    Probably one of the best dinners I had during my trip to Europe this summer…read more Their menu is set up to be sort of like a sampling menu where it's recommended you order multiple dishes in order to be full. It's great for getting to try a lot of things! The servers here work really hard, during the dinner rush there was only 2 of them, therefore be a little patient! The wait is totally worth. Also, make a reservation if you can, they are very popular. (It was packed and we arrived 20 minutes early for our table) We ordered oysters, lobster, seabass (whole), scallops, green salad, bread, and at the end, french coffee. The highlight of the entire dinner were the razor clams. Absolutely unbelievable and a must order if you ever visit and it's on the menu! The coffee was extremely dark and we didn't finish any of it. But, being American, we probably should've known better and researched before we ordered. The creme brûlée was also very enjoyable! (Side note: all the creme brûlées I had in Europe were pre-made and not hot when they came out. Europe tingz?) The bill didn't come out to be outrageous at all and basically all we ordered was seafood... how? All in all, the perfect dinner to end my birthday. I'll be dreaming about this place for the next few years until I visit Amsterdam again.
